Chapter 1: Unparalleled Talent

Feiyu Boundary, Heavenly Gate.

After completing the tasks arranged by the sect, Xu Fan returned to his small courtyard.

Calling it a small courtyard was more like an independent mountaintop one, which was the standard allocation for intermediate outer disciples.

Looking at the more than ten acres of spirit rice in front of the courtyard and a small patch of medicinal field in the distance, Xu Fan formed a hand seal.

Above the spirit field, countless water vapors gathered with strands of spiritual qi, forming a water cloud that just covered the entire spirit field.

'Spiritual Rain Technique'

Above the spirit field, a gentle rain fell from the water cloud, accompanied by strands of spiritual qi seeping into the field.

If the elders of the sect saw this scene, they would exclaim in astonishment, for this was the highest level of Spiritual Rain Technique, belonging to the category of Dao.

"In ten days, this spirit rice can be harvested, and by then there will be enough spirit stones to purchase alchemy equipment and pay the tuition fees."

"After learning alchemy techniques, there will be no shortage of spirit stones." Xu Fan said with a smile, looking at the slightly taller spirit rice than before.

Returning to his room, Xu Fan opened the silence restriction and began to relax. He picked up a carving knife and casually selected a piece of Iron Bone Wood to begin carving.

As the carving knife in his hand was turned up and down, in no time, a miniature Wuling Hongguang appeared in Xu Fan's hand.

"Sigh, I don't know who created such an infuriating system, but it just happened to choose me."

"Even though it gave me excellent aptitude, it still restricts me to breakthrough on the last day of the Great Limit. 150 years old at Qi Cultivation stage; 200 years old at Foundation Establishment stage; 500 years old at Golden Core stage; 1000 years old at Nascent Soul stage; Dividing Spirit stage......"

"Forget it, by that time I probably won't want to live anymore."

Xu Fan put the carved Wuling Hongguang aside and continued carving with another prepared piece of Iron Bone Wood. This was his way of relaxing and passing the time when bored.

"Guaranteed breakthrough on the day of the Great Limit, but no resurrection if I die in between."

"Isn't this just forcing me to be the number one shut-in in the Cultivation World? Although I used to be a shut-in."

"But in such a vast and boundless world with unlimited charm, I want to go and see."

Xu Fan shook his head as he said this.

"The outside world is too dangerous. I will lay low for a while and then go out when I reach the 12th level of Qi Cultivation."

In the meantime, another Volkswagen Tiguan was completed.

Xu Fan got up and walked to a wall where he tapped it in a random pattern.

A hidden door opened in the wall, revealing a staircase leading downwards. This was a basement that Xu Fan had created using the Earth Movement Skill.

After entering the basement, Xu Fan snapped his fingers, and a top-level Illumination Technique lit up the ceiling, making the 40-square-foot basement as bright as day, like the sunshine of the early morning.

In the middle of the basement was a large table depicting the city from his memories. On the streets, it was bustling with traffic, various storefronts, and in the courtyard at the center of the table was a wood carving that looked like Xu Fan.

Xu Fan casually placed the two wooden carvings on the carved road, joining the flow of traffic.

"I can't go back now, but with my eldest brother there, mom and dad's later years will be worry-free."

Xu Fan stared intently at the small courtyard in the center of the table, where there was a wooden statue of a woman, who had an ordinary appearance but was the person he missed the most.

After reminiscing for a moment, Xu Fan returned to his room and began today's final cultivation session.

"Entered the Sect for six years, at the 4th level of Qi Cultivation stage, this speed is just in the middle level, very good, striving to live is victory." Xu Fan comforted himself while also having a guess in his heart, that after countless years, when he became the highest cultivation level in the world, he might be able to return to his original world.

An Immortal Emperor reborn, wandering in a bustling city.

With this thought, Xu Fan started to smile.

"If it's like this, living for more time is worthwhile."

"Alright, let's cultivate, otherwise what if I accidentally break through."

Xu Fan began his daily cultivation, the Cultivation Technique he practiced was the most basic and stable "Five Elements Sect" in the Cultivation World, with Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth all having separate methods of cultivation, which can be practiced individually, or combined.

The biggest characteristic of "Five Elements Sect" is its lack of characteristics, its only advantage is that if you fully cultivate "Five Elements Sect", it is beneficial for the whole set of five elements techniques, the rest are all general.

Inside Xu Fan's body, the Spiritual Power circulated through the small Zhou Tian cycle, finally returning to the Dantian, and then starting again.

However, this situation only lasted for a moment before Xu Fan began refining the spiritual power in his body to make it purer.

Xu Fan's soul crossed over to a dying beggar boy with no parents, only following an old beggar who felt sorry for him.

Originally wanting to die, Xu Fan ignited the desire to live after learning that there were cultivators in this world, and after experiencing many hardships and schemes, he finally became an outer disciple of the Heavenly Gate.

The old beggar also died two years after Xu Fan entered the Tianque Sect, and no medicine or stone could save him. According to him, it was God punishing him, and not allowing him to enjoy the blessings.

Upon Xu Fan obtaining his first Spirit Stone after joining the Tianque Sect, the old beggar began living a life he had never dared to imagine, indulging in luxuries until his death two years later.

Early the next morning, after drinking his homemade Spiritual Rice and Minced Meat Porridge, Xu Fan displayed the Light Body Technique and drifted toward one of the three main peaks, Taixue Peak.

"Brother Xu, come down, don't show off your intermediate Light Body Technique."

A hearty voice sounded, and a handsome young man looked up and shouted at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan, floating in mid-air, saw Wang Yulun on the winding mountain path with narrowed eyes, and drifted towards him.

"Brother Xu, when can you teach me some experience on how to practice the Light Body Technique to the intermediate level, and reach the deepest level? The speed of travel isn't slower than Sword Flight." Wang Yulun looked at Xu Fan with admiration.

"Experience? That would be taking the time spent practicing offensive techniques and using it to practice the Light Body Technique." Xu Fan teased. This junior brother was famous among the outer disciples; at the 4th level of Qi Cultivation, he killed a 6th level Demonic Beast, instantly becoming famous in the outer sect. It was said that an Elder wanted to take him as a disciple.

"Brother Xu, you're joking again. If you don't practice offensive techniques, what will you do when you encounter demonic beasts outside?"

"Then I just won't go out." Xu Fan said matter-of-factly.

"......"

Wang Yulun didn't understand why such a talented senior brother was so timid, even choosing the safest missions within the sect to complete.

"Brother Xu, if you have a chance, teach me your unique skills." Wang Yulun tried to flatter him.

Others didn't know, but he had witnessed it. Once, during an accident at the sect's Beast Control Hall where the seals failed, hundreds of untrained demonic beasts escaped.

When he was cornered by three 6th level Fire Wolves, Xu Fan happened to pass by. He couldn't bear to see them die and casually used a three-property combined technique, Wind-Burning Wooden Arrow, to kill the three Fire Wolves and save Wang Yulun.

At that time, Wang Yulun was amazed that Xu Fan could casually use a combined technique when even mastering a single offensive technique was difficult.

Since then, Wang Yulun has been Xu Fan's loyal little brother.
